I love Windows 8. At first the separate "Desktop" and "Metro" environments are confusing, but once you realize you can go into desktop mode and stay there while utilizing all the new utility offered by the interface (Windows + Q anyone? It's a more robust version of Spotlight) the whole thing clicks and becomes a real joy to use.

I believe 90% of the backlash is from people who have never used Windows 8, or gave it literally 30 seconds of use in Best Buy then came home to post online about it.

Give it a real shot, its fun!

Microsoft caused the confusion by not adding a tutorial. I suggested it during windows 8 developer preview but they ignored it.

Their current tutorial still doesn't cut it but it's a step in the right direction.
